Scorpio is a water sign ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto in the common man and Mars also in the man on the path to discipleship.

Desire of all kinds rule this sign. Desire, from the basic human, or worldly needs, to the desire for at-oneness with the Creator.

Scorpios in many ways have gotten a bad rap. Scorpios have one of the most intense, intuitive, and complex souls of the personalities of astrology signs. They seem to see right through you, and know what’s going on under the surface.

Don’t expect a Scorpio to use tact. You will get their version of the untarnished truth. Other key traits of a Scorpio are strong-willed, bold, courageous, competitive, resourceful, mysterious, and direct. They give heart-felt compliments that you should consider very sincere.

But, like other personalities of astrology signs, Scorpios have a not so endearing side. Scorpios are very suspicious and intolerant of others to the point of cruel or violent. Their penetrating eyes look right through you, like they're searching your soul.

They resent others questioning their views, and will work to seduce or manipulate you to their way of thinking. Some would call them controlling, jealous, destructive, and sarcastic. They seem to know more than the rest of us, or at least they think they do, and they guard this information by being one of the most secretive of the personalities of astrology signs.

Expect a Scorpio to give missions they are committed to their all, whether it’s for their higher good or not.

This sign doesn’t usually seek out the company of others. Small circles of family and friends are best suited to Scorpios. They are one of the most introverted and somewhat closed personalities of astrology signs. They are not interested in your opinion, and prefer to figure things out for themselves.

In the workforce, Scorpios are usually loved, because they are low-maintenance, industrious workers who become completely focused on their tasks. They are not interested in idle chit-chat at the water cooler.

Romantically, Scorpios are committed to their relationships, but are very private. You will most likely never know everything about a Scorpio partner. They are very intuitive, picking up on what you need from the relationship. But, this same intuitiveness will pick up on all your imperfections as well. And they have no problem letting you know what they are, too.
